Yella Habibi (Inshallah)

Sometimes when I start writing a post, it ends up going in a whole different direction. Quite like this post. It was supposed to be all about firsts. Like this weekend was the first time I went running in Morocco and sucked up tons of exhaust fumes, questioned if I did more harm than good and reaffirmed my hatred of running. And this weekend was also the first time we've ever left all 4 kids home alone while we went to a party and when we returned home they were all lying in their beds. Then after we checked that they were all breathing, we deemed it a success.

But then, we did something I've been wanting to do for a while. I had this idea that we should make our first Arabic music video. And then I decided not to write anything else. Because really, there are no words.

So without further ado, I give you Yella Habibi (Inshallah)...

And yes, that's about all the Darija (Moroccan Arabic) we know. Excluding the swear words of course...

Adventurers...

I'm a writer, dancer, world traveler, wife and mother of four who moved back to Colorado from living abroad in Morocco a couple of years ago. I have a severe case of wanderlust and some lingering reverse culture shock. Oh and did I mention I have 3 teenagers now? Not to mention our youngest, who firmly believes she's one too. I'm Marie and these are some of my misadventures.
